Robert Pattinson Has Been Hanging Out With Mischa Barton

Rob has been keeping some unusual company since his split from ex Kristen Stewart, and now we can add former ‘O.C.’ star Mischa to that list. But are they just friends or something more? Read on for all the details!

Rob has been keeping busy by hosting some intimate gatherings with his inner circle of friends — which now includes Mischa, according to E! News.

R-Patz has been going through a difficult time since his split from Kristen, and he can probably relate to Mischa, who also recently went through a breakup with former boyfriend Sebastian Knapp.

“He [Rob] is very low-key and just wants to be with friends right now,” an insider tells E! News.

“He is extremely cool and laid-back and hasn’t been overly flirting with lots of girls or anything. He just wants to enjoy himself and be with good people.”

It sounds like Rob isn’t looking for a relationship, but his friendship with Mischa could easily develop into something more. They definitely have a few things in common. Mischa is also known for being pretty low-key — she has even said she was referred to as “the shy one” when she was younger — so Rob, a notorious introvert, probably identifies with her in that way as well.

Could a new romance be budding between Mischa and Rob?
